Pegu they haue many Tallipoies or priests, which preach against all abuses.  Many men resort vnto them.  When they enter into their kiack, that is to say, their holy place or temple, at the doore their is a great iarre of water with a cocke or a ladle in it, and there they wash their feet; and then they enter in, and lift vp their hands to their heads, first to their preacher, and then to the Sunne, and so sit downe. [Sidenote:  The apparell of their priests.] The Tallipoies go very strangly apparelled with one cambaline or thinne cloth next to their body of a browne colour, another of yellow doubled many times vpon their shoulder:  and those two be girded to them with a broad girdle:  and they haue a skinne of leather hanging on a string about their necks, whereupon they sit, bare headed and bare footed:  for none of them weareth shoes; with their right armes bare and a great broad sombrero or shadow in their hands to defend them in the Summer from the Sunne, and in the Winter from the raine.  When the Tallipoies or priests take their Orders, first they go to schoole vntill they be twenty yeres olde or more, and then they come before a Tallipoie appointed for that purpose, whom they call Rowli:  he is of the chiefest or most learned, and he opposeth them, and afterward examineth them many times, whether they will leaue their friends, and the company of all women, and take vpon them the habit of a Tallipoie.  If any be content, then he rideth vpon an horse about the streets very richly apparelled, with drummes and pipes, to shew that he leaueth the riches of the world to be a Tallipoie.  In few dayes after, he is caried vpon a thing like an horsliter, which they call a serion, vpon ten or twelue mens shoulders in the apparell of a Tallipoie, with pipes and drummes, and many Tallipoies with him, and al his friends, and so they go with him to his house which standeth without the towne, and there they leaue him.  Euery one of them hath his house, which is very little, set vpon six or eight posts, and they go vp to them with a ladder of twelue or foureteene staues.  Their houses be for the most part by the hie wayes side, and among the trees, and in the woods.  And they go with a great pot made of wood or fine earth, and couered, tied with a broad girdle vpon their shoulder, which cometh vnder their arme, wherewith they go to begge their victuals which they eate, which is rice, fish, and herbs.  They demand nothing but come to the doore, and the people presently doe giue them, some one thing, and some another:  and they put all together in their potte:  for they say they must eate of their almes, and therewith content themselues. [Sidenote:  Obseruation of new moones.] They keepe their feasts by the Moone:  and when it is new Moone they keepe their greatest feast:  and then the people send rice and other things to that kiack or church of which they be; and there all the Tallipoies doe meete which be of that Church, and eate the victuals which are sent them.  When the Tallipoies do preach, many of the people cary them gifts into the pulpit where they sit and preach.  And there is one which sitteth by them to take that which the people bring.  It is diuided among them.  They haue none other ceremonies nor seruice that I could see, but onely preaching.
